A day in Boston!!

So the trip to Boston was fun. Micah was amazing, laying still for his ECHO and EKG and only being a little wiggly during his pacer interigation. We also got to see Dr. Cecchin and he gave us the name of Micah's new cardiologist in KS. Dr. Stephen Kaine is his name and he and Dr. Cecchin did their resdiancy together. Dr. Cecchin says he considers Dr. Kaine to be on the same level as Dr. Borwn. No...w for the results...Micah's EKG is clear, his pace maker is working great and should last Micah another 2-3 years. The Echo (the most telling test) came back great too!! His heart looks great! He has a strong beat (thank you pacer) and his atrias and ventricles look great too. That's right! His left venticle is functioning amazingly!! They measured the pressure and strength of squeeze and it's at the bottom level of normal for a NORMAL, HEALTHY heart. Dr. Cecchin told me today that last November they were seeing signs of complete heart failure and they were going to give Micah every chance to pull out of it before they told us about it. They did and Micah is back to "normal". He is no longer showing signs of heart failure!!!!!
